a field of wishes scattered, pieces of a dream hunting the magic wind is blowing illusion secrets of the harvest moon
how many times do we wish that illusions turn into reality? we are lost in a field waiting for the magic. it was nice to write this poem last evening. the words came out without much thinking, and I understood that I’m waiting too much.
Sharing with tanka tuesday. this week’s theme is harvest moon.
Tanka Tuesday: “This challenge explores Ekphrastic writing inspired by visual art (photographs). Cheryl, from last month’s challenge, provided the photo for this month’s challenge.” Colleen Chesebro
This photo reminds me of a cottage up north Canada where we spent a few day a while back. The place was pure cosiness. The sky was pretty and the fragrance coming out from the fireplace was intoxicant.
the wine is ready the sky is the performer cozy white blanket red oak is softly singing the evening is a delight
Holidays are always tough on me. The memories and dreams are vivid, it’s like I can touch them, the feelings are all over the place, urging to make new memories and at the same time keeping the old ones in the background of my mind.
Tanka Tuesday this week is poet’s choice. So, due to the holidays’ mood I wrote this double Senryu and added this photo that I snapped during in the weekend. I would call it a Haiga, but I’m not sure if a double Senryu can be used for it. Let’s see what Colleen has to say 🙂
Hope you had a great weekend and the holidays weren’t tough on you!

Tanka Tuesday this week is a photo prompt, exploring Ekphrastic writing. My first thought when I looked at this artwork was about a party in the sky, and of course, the moon is the host of the party!
This week Tanka Tuesday is a Ekphrastic #PhotoPrompt! Thanks Trent for the beautiful image!
It’s a photo of a waterfall, my first thought when looked at it was of a hand reaching up, trying to escape through the gap. So here is my Tanka for this photo.
Hand of illusion The clearing has been opened The fall brings desire Fragments of sorrowful truth Exploding in ecstasy
Adorned with bright red The Earth has been whimsical Provoking the moon Trying to impress the groom The sun is vainglorious
Today’s theme for Tanka Tuesday is poet’s choice. Inspired for all the beauty around here I wrote a tanka to register it. A little act of kindness for me and for the Earth. Hope you enjoy!
October Squares – Kind
Being carried away by longing Blending among the canopy Wondering and wandering Sensing forgotten paths Into the forest Braids and branches Turning one Single Gleam
Today’s prompt for Tanka Tuesday is a photo prompt. The photo should be able to inspire you to write a poem. That single mushroom in this photo evoked me a feeling of loneness. I’m sharing it using Nonet as the poetry form.
Standing still, untouched
Summer breeze bathing softness
Confidence rises
Simplicity is the key
Joy of plenty contentment
Today’s challenge is poet’s choice of words: I’ve chosen Confidence and Joy
blue immensity
from the skies to the oceans
you have all my heart
wondering what is hidden
beyond treasures and despair
it’s time for tanka tuesday, our own choice of words, for today i’ve chosen heart and despair.
i took this photo last week, the sky was so blue, no clouds around. i was waiting outdoors for my son to give me a ride and i was wondering what is beyond all this blue. not about the universe, planets, atmosphere and stuff, but about the mystery, the magic, what is there that we can’t see?
i wasn’t sure if it is appropriate to make a haiga using a tanka, instead a haiku, but i had more words and it wouldn’t fit as haiku, they needed to be written.
hope you have a great day!
spinning emotions
harmonizing my movements
obsessed with the tracks
the scratches being buffed out
only pleasure and lightness
This week words for tanka tuesday are hobby and play, synonyms only, so i go with obsessed and pleasure.
